Is there a REST API call for getting the status of a Search Head Cluster (SHC)?

Planning to use search head clustering and we need the ability to check search head cluster status by REST API call. Please advise if there is a capability to do so or if this will be coming in the near future.

Here are some examples that will work for you:

1) To check the Status, run the REST from any of the Search Head Cluster Members:

/services/shcluster/status   

2) Here is a REST call to check Captain/info:

 /services/shcluster/captain/info

3) To get the information on Cluster nodes/members that have joined the captain:

 /services/shcluster/captain/members

4) To get the information on Cluster Member Details:

/services/shcluster/member/info

5) To get information on artifacts and replicas DISCREPANCY:

/services/shcluster/member/artifacts

OR

/services/shcluster/captain/artifacts

6) Delegated jobs:

/services/shcluster/captain/jobs

7) Ongoing replication details:

/services/shcluster/captain/replications

I try to use these rest api links and get a prompt for a login/password. How to I avoid this? Still can't get our load balancer team (NetScaler) a link that works.

Hi,
Were you able to figure out how to achieve this ?

I could not access REST API to monitor search head/Indexer peer members. When I hit https://localhost:8089/services/shcluster/member/consensus I'm getting page cannot be displayed. I verified splunk management port is listening from my machine.

My intention is to monitor each search Head and Indexer URL's individually via Load balancer. Your input would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Check out the docs on the REST API Cluster endpoints here.

e.g.

https://<host>:<mPort>/services/shcluster/member/consensus
